Raylee’s Relentless Pursuit – 2025 Some seasons test you. Others define you. For Raylee, 2025 became the year that proved what preparation, grit, and heart can accomplish when opportunity meets relentless drive. With her grandfather Ron entering her into multiple Utah hunts, Raylee wasn’t just hoping to participate — she was determined to compete with herself and rise to every challenge. Long before the season opened, she committed to the work. Hours on the range turned into muscle memory. Early mornings and disciplined practice sharpened her focus. Every shot carried intention. Every day-built confidence. When the tags came through — Swan, Sandhill Crane, and a general buck deer — Raylee stepped into the field ready. She harvested her buck first, calm and composed. The Sandhill followed, then the Swan, each taken cleanly on the first shot. No wasted motion. No hesitation. Just execution earned through preparation. Filling every tag in a single season is rare. Doing it with precision and poise is something else entirely. The photos tell the story best: the unmistakable smile of a young hunter who didn’t just have a lucky year — she chased it, worked for it, and claimed it. 2025 wasn’t simply a successful season. It was a breakthrough year, a milestone that marks the rise of a determined young hunter whose pursuit is only just beginning.
Beautiful night at the Gorge
Bet him $5.00 he couldn’t catch a fish bare hands. He pulled out this little cat fish.
My granddaughter Aspyn’s first deer hunt in 2026 and she bagged this beauty in the northeastern part of Utah while hunting with her grandfather. She will not be happy with anything less than this fine buck now.
6 year old Kameron Draper. “Not your average 1st grader.” Hunting and Fishing flows through his Veins Kameron has been apart of many hunts but he especially, Played a big part in his Dads Limited entry Muzzleloader elk hunt this past year. He was part of several scouting trips prior to the hunt, and even begged his Grandpa to check him out of school and bring him down to camp a day earlier than planned to help his dad keep eyes on the best bull they were able to find. The night before the hunt Kameron stayed on the glass and watched the bull push his cows til dark and helped plan a perfect stalk for Opening morning . 10 minutes into legal shooting light it happened like a dream and Kam was able to finally put his hands on him.

Kingston shot his FIRST buck during the general season, public land, rifle deer hunt in the mountains above Strawberry! This dandy came right in at 50 yards with a group of bull elk, Kingston got a shot off and after tracking a small blood trail, Kingston spotted him down about 100 yards away! Couldn’t have asked for a better hunt.
